    So, anyone heard from Tech, lately? I see he posted to another forum on 10/17 ~3pm... I sent him mail later that night, no response. Anyone else in the Kentwood Michigan area? Maybe he's working on a really good story to post :) (Hope it's nothing more serious than that. Let us know that...

    "A day in the sun"

    Tell horse to shut up and let a newbie start his first pass! (Politely, of course. Maybe toss in "no offense" at the end, if you think it's needed :p) Seriously, though -- not every pass has to be just like every other pass. If someone doesn't want to join a pass because you have to pay...

    FT's Gumbo Pass

    "Has arrived in Mesquite TX" means that the box arrived at the back shipping dock of the PO. Being "Priority Mail", they figure they have a few weeks before they need to sort through it and get it to you ;) The text you're looking for is "was delivered" or "delivery was attempted" (which will...

    Another cigar generosity story from your host (since the rest of you are slacking on the stories! ;)) First, I want to assure you all that I am neither stunningly good looking, nor terribly charming and charismatic. No, really -- ask anyone :p (The picture is my father (~45 yrs ago) and...

    Baptism By Fire Pass

    Well, it's nice that you say you'll take care of it, and it is your pass and all... but I feel very self-conscious about being the one who packed the box that arrived with damaged cigars. I take some pride in my cigar packing, and have scolded a person or two for their pack jobs (which is what...

    Baptism By Fire Pass

    Hey, wait a minute... Is this the box from me?! I WROTE the "pack for no movement" tretise! That thing was rock-solid when it left here... <mutter, grumble> The only real questionable thing on the way out was that the cardboard box, itself, was a bit ragged -- but not SO bad. Well, I'm...

    I think that's just boilerplate text that they put on the slip. Looks like it's not a problem, though -- TM1 says he got it :) Thanks for playing!

    FT's Gumbo Pass

    Bah! I can't get the pass-link to work, and I can't find the original lineup post. I'm just trying to get "what is it" info on this Camacho I took. What model, where can I order one, how old was it, etc. Thanks! (Great pass, btw :) )

    Hmmm, Matalo was supposed to have sent it out last weekend to TechMaster-1 -- haven't heard from either of them in a while. I sent e-mail to Matalo, will call him in the morning. Do any of you happen to live near Venus TX?

    Baptism By Fire Pass

    Aw crap! I'm sitting here with the pass folder -- all the mailing labels, the list, etc. I'll e-mail MP and get his address, then send it to him ASAP. Duh. Sorry about that...

    Vern is turning 49 Pass

    Baptism By Fire Pass

    Ok, here's what I did... * I marked all the cigars JoeM took off the list. * I took: #9 Acid Earthiness -- I've heard nothing but awful things about Acids, so I took the least-offensive looking one, and am going to give it a spin. #18 Partagas Black Label -- currently my favourite cigar, I...

    Baptism By Fire Pass

    Ok, box arrived, initial scan says everything looks good. Seriously -- as I recall, this is a "take 7, put in a premium or two" reverse ratio thing. Then someone dropped. What's the correct "take" count? Obviously, I'll do what I can to "make it right" with an appropriate number of puts of...

    Heh... you know the phrase "to a carpenter, all the world is a nail"? Well, here's a cute story: Mrs. Misc is a psychotherapist who works with a lot of depressed people. She used to do volunteer work on the suicide hotline. So, when I told her that the cigars were from a complete stranger...

    A Very Sad Day!

    Just think how much happier you'd be, through the joy of giving, if you were to send one of them to each of your five buddies who have tried to console you on this thread... Misc <-- just trying to help out :D Seriously, though -- good luck on the job hunt. Try not to let things get you down...

    A Very Sad Day!

    Not us, that's for sure! Thing is, I don't know much Hopi or Eskimo, either ;) Yeah, I was laid off last October (almost a year!) -- but it's turned out ok for me. I'm sort-a half-heartedly looking for contract or p/t work, but sort-of enjoying the life of a cigar smoking semi-retired dude...
